Italy announced measures on Wednesday to help families and businesses hit by extreme climate events, as the country reels from a heatwave in the south and fierce storms in the north.
Giorgia Meloni's right-wing administration approved a decree to help construction and agricultural firms keep staff at home in areas with very high temperatures.
The decree allows building and farming companies, both severely hit by the heatwave because their workers cannot work from home, to use the instrument without the hours being counted in the overall limits.
